Live on Sky Sports Cricket

The final Test between England and India will have a ceremonial air to it, with the hosts having already won the five-match series and former captain Alastair Cook retiring from international cricket upon its conclusion.

Looking at the England vs India 5th Test odds, this brings the 9/2-rated draw, the 7/4 India win and the 5/6 about the India double chance pick firmly into play.

The tourists have been far better at keeping their dander up for matches that mean nothing in terms of the series result too – they’re unbeaten in their past eight such Tests, winning six of them.

Of further interest for those interested in opposing Ben Stokes, Sam Curran, Moeen Ali and friends in the England vs India betting is the home team’s moderate record in Kennington.

Joe Root’s side have won just two of their past six Tests at the Oval, losing three times and drawing once.

Alastair Cook’s final test

Alastair Cook will retire from England duty after the final test against India.

The former England skipper’s final Test before retirement will deservedly see the focus placed upon a fantastic career in which the batsman they call ‘Chef’ has amassed some 12,254 Test runs, becoming England’s leading Test runscorer.

Naturally, William Hill’s most willow-upon-leather-minded traders have priced up all manner of specials about Cook’s final five-day outing for the country he has represented with distinction.

Currently sixth in the list of all-time leading Test run scorers, he needs 147 runs to edge past Kumar Sangakkara into fifth place. Among our England vs India 5th Test odds Alastair Cook specials, the 20/1 odds about the Essex stalwart scoring a double century in either innings would be a glorious way to achieve that milestone.
